Windows 7 Screenshots.

[Darth Caesar]

I took some screenshots of a game on a Studio 15 Laptop with Windows 7, and I would like to know how I could access them, any help would be appreciated.

If you pressed Print Screen key you need to paste it into an image editor. Windows Paint is a built-in one but its not the best. I recommend Paint.NET which is free.

Where do I go to find the screenshot to paste it?

Its in your clipboard. You know how when you copy text you can paste it? Same thing.

In other words, if you dind't save the screenshots when you took them, they're gone by now. PrintScreen doesnt do any saving on its own.

I use X-Fire for my screenshots, even has free webhosting too (no idea what the storage limit is). FRAPS is also good.

Fraps.

Fraps is better imo.

Most games have a key that you can press to take screenshots and save them automatically, btw.

I know but I can't seem to find the folder where they are kept.

Google "<game name> screenshots saved folder"?

I just post the pics into a word .doc and then right click on the pic and click save.

That works too, I guess, but you can't crop them or anything before you save the image like you could with Paint.

This is a really stupid way of doing it. Its not that hard to download Paint.NET, GIMP, Irfanview, or ACDSee and paste the picture into it. Those programs are actually made for this purpose, Word isnt.

 

[Mise]

Yeah, I'm struggling to think of a more stupid way of saving a screenshot.

 

[Maniacal]

Using a camera and pointing it at the screen.

I HATE it when people film games.

I searched for the tropic thunder dance and all I found were lousy filmings usually

Jeez, did nobody DL it to computer, or anything?
